Quick question, why hasn't anyone written Larry the Chief Mouser's POV on the rotating cast of British Prime Ministers?

*licks paw*

Ah yes, yet another feeble-minded human leaves my home. I loathe to meet the next one. May their reign be shorter than my next prey's life.

LARRY THE BOSS: UK's Chief Mouser 'Larry The Cat' Outlasts His 6th PM In 15 Years

British PM Keir Starmer has dramatically resigned outside 10 Downing Street after a brutal internal party mutiny. As the UK plunges into a fresh political crisis, only one resident remains entirely unbothered: Larry the Cat.

What You Need to Know:

The Resignation: Prime Minister Keir Starmer officially announced his departure as leader of the governing Labour Party following plunging poll numbers and an intraparty rebellion triggered by Andy Burnham’s by-election victory.

The Caretaker Period: Starmer confirmed he has informed King Charles III and will serve as caretaker Prime Minister over the summer until a new leader is chosen by September 2026.

The True Boss: Larry the Cat, the Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office, has just marked his 15th year on the payroll. He has successfully outlasted six British Prime Ministers: David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak, and now Keir Starmer.

Constitutional Crisis: This historic exit marks the seventh UK Prime Minister in ten years, highlighting the deep structural volatility currently defining Westminster politics.

Gladstone: Chief Mouser of the Treasury

Larry the Cat gets a ton of attention across the internet for his role as Chief Mouser at No. 10, but nobody knows about Gladstone which makes me super sad so i’m here to rectify that:

Gladstone is the Chief Mouser of Her Majesty’s Treasury in Whitehall, London. he was appointed in 2016 following Larry and Palmerston’s appointments as Chief Mousers of No. 10 and the Foreign Office respectively - and should get just as much as, if not more (as i personally believe), attention as them!

why, you say? well ohoho i’m glad you asked:

1) he’s better at his job than Larry

Larry is well-known for his “lack of killer instinct” and is notoriously bad at his job as Chief Mouser. the press calls him “Lazy Larry” due to his tendency to sleep on while mice run amok and in 2012 was almost fired from his position due to incompetency!

Gladstone, by comparison, is a natural mouser. 

Gladstone’s catch count was last reported as 22, far higher than Larry’s (if not as high as Palmerston’s, i’ll admit). Gladstone made his first catch within 48 hours of arriving at the Treasury whereas it took Larry just under two months. Larry also had to have an assistant appointed, Freya, to help with mousing duties; Gladtsone catches all his mice himself, and has even moved onto flies, as can be seen above.

2) he’s fashionable as all hell

while all the cats of Whitehall are undoubtedly adorable, only one can hold the title for best dressed: Gladstone.

clearly, Larry and Palmerston have nothing on Gladstone. both have simple solid-coloured collars whereas Gladstone is leading the fashion revolution with every new bowtie he wears.

in fact, he’s started a trend with his bowties! when Evie and Ossie became the new Chief Mousers of the Cabinet Office in late 2016, they sported Gladstone’s iconic bowties. #styleicon

3) he’s a social media influencer

the last reason Gladstone should be just as much a household name as Larry and Palmerston is because his job isn’t only limited to mousing - he also uses his platforms to spread the message about his work:

Gladstone’s Twitter and Instagram is filled with constant updates as to what the Treasury is doing, and he often features in simple ‘5 things about ___’ videos that are cute as well as informative. he’s also seen frequently supporting global events like Pride yearly (hence the rainbow bowtie above).

4) in summary: he’s awesome

now that Palmerston has retired to lead a more chill life, and now that Larry looks to be on the horizon of replacing Boris Johnson as Prime Minister, perhaps it’s time to acknowledge how cool Gladstone is and pay him the respect and attention he deserves?
